Mon (9-14-09): Kansas is a WIDE state and it seems like forever to travel across it. Last night we stayed in a Wal-Mart [785-357-4827; 2600 NW Rochester Rd; 39.094600, -95.672500] in Topeka and tonight, would you believe, we are camped in yet another Wal-Mart Supercenter [785-899-2111; Exit 17; 2160 Commerce Rd; 39.334155, -101.726440] in Goodland. This one has been the best parking so far. We were "camped" on the side of the store just behind the garden center. The area was just big enough for our 3 coaches. Mem had heated up some home made vegetable soup that she had brought and made some toasted cheese sandwiches. It was still warm enough for us to sit out side to eat when we got there before the sun went down. After supper, we walked over to the DQ and Jim treated us all to ice cream.
Tue (9-15-09): Some of the things we passed today were a windmill farm, a small herd of buffalo, an Oz Museum, Calvary Museum, and Fort Riley "Home of the Big Red One". {RalphP, maybe you know what the "Big Red One" refers to?} All places we might visit on another trip west. The western part of KS is called the "High Plains"--rolling hills and you can see for miles. But there is not much to see but mostly scrub land!
